24.01.2022 Another appreciation post today - this time for the painting work being done in our new building. We need to thank Dulux and Inspirations Paint Wagga for the donation of a large portion of the paint and great service for the portion of paint we purchased and Don Elphick Painting and Decorating for donating his time to do all the painting work inside the new building. Its looking awesome. Don't forget to support these businesses and other businesses that have helped get our new building up and running.

23.01.2022 RECYCLED ITEMS REQUIRED As part of our new programming we are introducing a range of engineering challenges, logical thinking activities and other creative games and activities. To get these fully up and running we need some help with the donation of recycled materials. We are in need of: - Empty glad wrap/foil/paper towel rolls... - Empty tissue boxes - Old socks (yes, even those ones that lost their partner in the dryer) - Old panty hose/stockings - Shells of different shapes and textures. - Plastic leaves of different shapes off artificial plants and flowers Any donations would be greatly appreciated and will assist in giving the children a far more interesting and enriching program. We can even pick up items if required - just send an inbox and this can be organised. See more

22.01.2022 With further reductions in supervision at schools, for those who do still need to send their children to school due to working in essential services, OOSH will be open as usual for before and after school care. We also have availability for new bookings if others find themselves in the position of needing care due to working different hours or even a different job due to every thing that is going on. We are also open to casual bookings for children from other schools that may not have OOSH services available but need care. We are also looking at options for running full days sessions for those who are in essential services but their children's schools are closed. Please send us a message if you require any bookings.

21.01.2022 So here it is everyone - the inside of our new extension!! Don't forget to get in touch if you are interested in sending your child/ren to before and after school care or vacation care. Thanks again BlueSky Modular Buildings, Don Elphick Painting and Decorating, Laser Plumbing Wagga Wagga, Laser Electrical Wagga Wagga, Kooringal Carpet One, Lahn Shepherd we are so happy with the result.

17.01.2022 We would like to thank these awesome businesses for the fantastic work building, delivering and installing our new building.

16.01.2022 ATTENTION CHANGE TO OPENING HOURS. Before School Care now opening 6.45am. Last term due to many families expressing a need for the service to open earlier, we changed our opening time to 6am. Due to NO families utilising this earlier opening time at all, we have changed the opening time to the later time of 6.45am as of the upcoming start of term 3.

16.01.2022 We are in need of newspapers for some activities we have planned at the center. If anyone is able to save their old newspapers for us it would be greatly appreciated. They can be dropped at the center or we can pick them up - just let us know. Thanks

If any parents are available to come and lend a hand even for a short time it would be greatly appreciated. (The exit gate is open and can be used for entry today).

10.01.2022 Its that time again - school holidays are fast approaching. Our vacation care program is out and bookings are now open. With our new increased capacity we now have room for children who normally attend OOSH, other children who attend Forest Hill Public and need just vacation care and now also children who attend other schools in town and need vacation care. So if your child goes to school in town but it would be easier for you for them to stay in Forest Hill for vacation care, send us an email to [email protected] and we can send you out the paperwork you will need. You can book a single day right through to every day - the choice is yours.

08.01.2022 The staff and Committee of Forest Hill OOSH would like to thank these two awesome dads for donating their whole Saturday and use of their tools and equipment to carry out some overdue maintenance and repairs. We would like the parents who use the center to join us in thanking them - and as both run their own businesses, thinking of them when you need a tradesman is a great way of doing this. Don Elphick Painting and Decorating and Stormy's Home Maintenance (& they make a great team). Keep an eye out in the next newsletter as we have a few more jobs that need doing and some more volunteers to help would be great.

08.01.2022 COVID19 UPDATE With todays announcement that schools will remain open, we are advising all families that Forest Hill OOSH will also remain open. We will be operating before and after school care as per usual for the remainder of the term and vacation care for the school holiday period. Our Vacation care excursions will need to be cancelled, but alternative activities will be planned and provided on these days.... If you choose to keep your child home from school and OOSH, can you please advise the center so that staff are aware of their absence and are not chasing up their whereabouts unnecessarily. An email has been sent to all families explaining their options in relation to fees if they choose to keep their children home. Regards Management and Staff of Forest Hill OOSH See more

Lahn did the final, all important step of building the walkway between the old building and the new - and many other little jobs that were requested of him on the spot and nothing was too hard or too much trouble for him to help out with. All his work was of high quality and looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the outcome of the next project he is working on with us - the kitchen renovation!
